RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Medic Computer Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: MCSY) announced today the results of its third quarter and the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1993.
Net income for the third quarter was $1,728,000, or $.17 per share. Net income for the same period in the prior year is not comparable due to the effect of transactions relating to the Company's initial public offering of 2,875,000 shares of common stock in 1992, including a charge for the early extinguishment of long-term debt, the gain from the reduction and payoff of a capital appreciation rights obligation, the recognition as operating expenses of one-time charges, and the recognition of related tax benefits. The net effect of these transactions was an increase to earnings per share in the third quarter of 1992.
Income from operations for the third quarter was $2,907,000 compared to a loss of $831,000 as restated for the same period in 1992 for the merger with Execu-Flow Systems, Inc. Total net revenues for the third quarter were $19,034,000 compared to $19,241,000 as restated for the same period in the prior year. The company acquired Execu-Flow in a noncash merger transaction completed on June 30, 1993. Medic issued 750,000 shares of its common stock to the shareholders of Execu-Flow in the merger. The transaction was accounted for as a pooling of interests and, accordingly, the company's financial statements have been restated to include the results of Execu-Flow for all periods presented. The loss from operations in the third quarter of 1992 reflects the recognition of the aforementioned operating expenses in the amount of $3,535,000 for one-time charges related to the company's initial public offering. Excluding the one-time charges, income from operations would have been $2,704,000.
Net income for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1993 was $3,943,000, or $.38 per share, which includes the net effect of a $121,000 gain from the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle relating to income taxes, amounting to $.01 per share, the reduction of income tax expense of $492,000 resulting from the recognition of a deferred tax asset as a result of the aforementioned merger, and acquisition-related charges of $577,000. Net income for the same period in the prior year is not comparable due to the effect of transactions relating to the company's initial public offering in 1992 as discussed above.
Income from operations for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1993 was $6,032,000 compared to $5,116,000 as restated for the same period in 1992. Income from operations in 1993 includes charges of $577,000 relating to the Execu-Flow acquisition on June 30, 1993 and income from operations in 1992 reflects the recognition of the aforementioned operating expenses in the amount of $3,535,000 for one-time charges relating to the company's initial public offering. Total net revenues for the nine months ended Sept. 30, 1993 were $53,559,000 compared to $56,913,000 as restated for the same period in the prior year.
